a spicy treat!

We really liked this recipe! We used it as a side for another recipe on this site (Two Mustard Chicken) and it was great.. we had a lot leftover though cuz this is meant to be the main dish. We couldn't find a 10oz bag of cut green beans so we used a 16oz bag because we love our veggies and it was perfect! We actually preferred it with more beans. It is a little spicy but not too hot.. just right!
